I've been vegan since June 2013. Almost a year. Vegetarian for 2-3 years before that. Part time omni before that. I do vegan now for health & ethical too. Trying to get away from processed foods altogether. That's my struggle.
Open diary to friends. FR sent your way.

Feel free to add me!

add me! I love having friends on here and my diary is open. Also- I eat A LOT so you'll get lots of ideas. lol

Add me if you want. I've been vegan for several years. and my diary is open.

Vegan 2 years

vegan for 7 years open diary!

I am also looking for vegan people with an open diary to add. If you are vegan or mostly vegan and don't eat a lot of junk (or want to eat less junk), you can add me.

For the MAJORITY of the time I am vegan, while on occasions I have fish. (I know eating fish is not vegan, but I am on the fence on whether they feel pain or not [also I think the consumption of fish may help with longevity] I will have to read more about it.) I don't eat fish everyday of every week, just a few days a month or less.

I am vegan for mostly health reasons, however I do consider the ethical side of it, so being vegan helps me have a bit more of peace of mind.

I hardly eat vegan junk food (or at least try not to.)

I think looking at my diary can help give other vegans (new) some ideas; my diary is open.

Occasionally I drink alcohol, but I'm NOT a frequent drinker. ( I do this for health reasons as well, I have mother's permission and I only do it at home; I am not breaking the law; I know the law.)

I have been vegan for about 4 years now (since 2010) (with the exception of last summer fall and winter; I stopped for a while then went back in January 2014)

I do not limit my calories, and I am not obsessed with macros; I am mostly focused on my micros.

However, eventually in my 20s I plan on restricting my calories more, I think it will be much easier for me then because I can get my own food instead of having my mom buy it for me. I want to get Ambronite and live off of that LOL XD.

Getting enough protein is pretty easy on a vegan diet- usually the thing I have difficulty with at times is getting enough calcium and iron.

I am trying to be more active, I have a goal of walking at least 4.5 miles a day or more (preferably outside), and doing 1000 cruches everyday.

My goal is not to lose weight; my goal is to lose a little bit of extra fat on my stomach, thigh, hips, and buttocks, and to strengthen my back and abs.

I am not obsessed with my weight, I want to have a healthier muscle to fat ratio/ body fat percentage. I want to maintain my bmi of about 22; I am trying to maintain my weight (I don't want to lose weight, I want to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time) my weight is 140 my height is 5'7" and I am 18.

I am sort of biased and picky and prefer to have vegan (or vegetarian/pescatarian) people on my people/friend list here. This is because I want some one to compare to see how well I am doing and see where I am lacking etc. Also to get food ideas, and share whatever ones I have if people are curious (new to being a vegan). I can't compare well with someone who eat bacon and eggs for breakfast, pork and beef for lunch, and chicken for dinner (pretty much people who eat a whole slaughter house). I can't compare to people doing low carb all meat low calorie diets. They do not have enough micros OR macros from the diaries I have seen. Some may think being a vegan is unhealthy, however I think extremely low calorie (as in 1000 or lower) low carb and a lot of meat (every meal) diet is just suicidal.

Anyways, if any of you looking at this topic happen to come across my post and like/agree with what I said and want to add me, you can add me, just tell me you saw my post on here, and if you have any questions, and etc. However, I would also like to make real friends on here- people to share a healthier lifestyle with.

how in the world can you be on the fence about a fish feeling pain or not?

......what the .....

I've been a vegan for three years, eating healthy for the most part but eating too much of it, hence the weight loss goal. I cook a lot and like to try out new recipes, with a fair stash of vegan cookbooks and nutrition books (and a ton of vegan recipes on Pinterest). I'm also getting back into a regular exercise routine, which is pretty basic for now, at least until I get into the habit of it. My diary is open to friends, if anyone wants to add me.

Another vegan looking for friends. Have been vegan for 2 and a half years now and never going back!
Feel free to add me. I love to have more motivating vegan friends!
